Firefox 3 Questions!

AnthemZ · 09-05-2008, 02:02 AM

Has anyone loaded it yet, and still use the RS. link checker script??

And does NoScript, ImageHostgrabber, DownloadHelper and AdBlockPlus still work?

TheLancinator · 09-05-2008, 02:04 AM

I'd stick with FF2 for now...FF3 crashes a LOT for me. Most addons do work tho...the RS link checker (w/greasemonkey), NoScript, and AdBlockPlus all work...I don't use the others you mentioned, so I dunno.

FF3 was supposed to fix the resource hogging problem that FF2 has, but it didn't...I'd stay with 2 if I were you.

yea, i would stick with 2.0.0.16 for now.

firefox 3 is bloated and not any more secure then ie7, as ff3 looks to the security settings of ie7.

linky linky

Cool! I've been getting that popup for upgrading, and I just read a review in PC World, so I started to think about it??

loser · 09-05-2008, 02:18 AM

turn off automatic updates. should fix the pop-up.

Legmann · 09-05-2008, 04:26 AM

Yeah, I haven't been in any hurry to get FF3, either.

For some reason, I cannot clear private data ... I clear it the way I always have only to find everything I typed in, still there.

**Wyeast** · 09-05-2008, 05:08 AM

Where?

And to answer the first question, so far it seems SiteAdvisor, NoScript, and AdBlock all work properly...

Can I make a suggestion about trying something new? (Which may or may not also be what I ask women when I have them in bed and a desire to convince them that anal sex is a good idea).

Speaking as someone who was a firefox user for about three years before I finally cried out in anguish and desperation "ENOUGH ENOUGH PLEASE< NO MORE"...whatever problems it has will NOT be solved in the 'next version' or the 'coming months' or in 'an insane dream' or whatever. That has been the rallying cry of hope since day one, and is a dreary, delusional hope at best. Firefox is to my sincere belief deeply flawed and I suggest everyone try Opera 9.52, which is a beautiful browser. Opera 9 was great too, this is just one big step forward. Plus...it's from Norway...NORWAY PEOPLE. That makes it cool.

Plus, it has a theme you can download that uses little wee bunnies on the icons. BUNNIES PEOPLE...so cute.

The important thing to remember about Opera is that if you want to change things, these are mostly built into the browser. As such, when you customize and then have to upgrade to a new version of the browser, EVERYTHING JUST KEEPS WORKING. No waiting for the independent extension designers to update their extensions and no updating extensions at all.

In FF2 click Help-Check for Updates
It will then show update to FF3 and show which of your extensions are not compatible under Show List

PapaZ · 09-05-2008, 06:03 PM

My FF3 works fine but my only problem is trying to view small preview pr0n videos. They either refuse to play or will crash FF. Other than that it works rather well.
